Swagger Inn Thread 106 : Roll Up, Roll Up, Get Yer Freshly-Picked HBFs Here!

[Cinnamoncookie]

Come one, come all to the Swagger Inn, where we talk about the BBC Musketeers.

Here's a bunch of handsome men to gaze upon

Also ditto to everything MintyEva said... but I won't be sitting in the tavern, I'll be working

(and Elk isn't always late, she met me off my train when we had out NorthernMiniMeet)

I'm having trouble thinking of anything I'm talented at....

Wenching Sparks Your'e good at wenching.

Thanks Helen

I'm good at listening and crocheting. I'm fantastic at story telling for the children. I'm bad at saying no and cleaning.

I'm good at eating chocolate. Or bad. Depends on your viewpoint.

I did have a nice cake today and book my next tattoo.

Evening wenches.

How are you feeling?

Apricot is indeed GifTastic

What's your next tattoo MintyEva? (I like that)

Hmm, I can reach things down off high shelves for people.

I'm watching a ballet on Sky Arts (cos I is well cultured innit). This bit's set in a prison - all men - and has taken a bit of a dark turn

I'm having this on my foot.

I've been to the ballet a few times Letus. I like MintyEva too

Oooooooh that's pretty!

Evening. Very nice tattoo mintyEva

I once won a wine gum eating competition. it was a very dull day at work, at a client in the arse end of nowhere.

Thanks both. Not for a couple of weeks because of holidays.

sounds a good competition to me Fancy

That was a moment of aberration Helen

It was mintyEva

It would appear I am also good at rescuing small bugs from my wine

minty www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2440509-tell-me-about-your-tattoos?pg=3 there's an interesting on going tattoo thread here. I remember you saying that you were going to get the plane one next. It's beautiful btw.

I think if I was getting your artist to do some for me I'd get the Chinese zodiac for each DS. So horse for babymouse and rabbit for toddler.

If you weren't a bit good at being nice to your mum Madame you wouldn't have gone on holiday with her. That was good. And honourable so there.

Re: the water thing. This is how I think about it... All cells in body together like a vase with flowers in. Once the water has been in there a bit is goes all cloudy and ikky. New water with minerals and electrolytes needed so you need to top up with fresh and flush out the ikk.

Best way I think is to fill 2ltr bottle with tap water and start trying to drink that. Easy to monitor how you're doing. More water, brisk walking and sleep are the solution to so many things. Thus spake my grandmother. .

minteva what's up?

Like that wrist one you linked to on the other thread mouse, although in my experience it hurts more over the boney bits!

Yay for medical professionals, I have an offical diagnosis of 'cloudy ikkyness'
You can now explain to Athos why that doesn't apply to alcohol, since too much of that also leads to 'cloudy ikkyness'

Databse hell is now less hellish because it's working better. The whole project is still fairly grim though.

Ps - nice design on the tattoo Minty

Glad to hear that at least the database is performing better helen

That's really pretty MintyEva

I'm watching Guardians of the Galaxy (again). You know, even as Ronan the Accuser, he's still giving me twinges and making me cross-eyed.

Some more The Good Soldier

And some Athos, you know, if anywench is interested

I like it a lot LetUs thank you .

Of course anywench is interested LetUs - I just cant get the fecker to load Will go away and try again later.

mouse you can stay here anytime and I'll take you to mine

Comtess my mom. She has had a sort of breakdown. Had a huge anxiety attack and being diagnosed with anxiety and mild depression. I've been trying to help her for months but we have a very difficult relationship. My brothers are nowhere to be seen until they want her to babysit. So yesterday and today I've been at hers sorting all sorts. No house insurance (it turns out for years!) fridge stopped working yesterday, washing up piled up, hardly any food in; just chaos. So I've got a fridge delivered, arranged insurance and sorted her out a bit. I'm exhausted now. Plus it's not helpful to my anxiety when I'm dealing with this.

We live nearly an hour apart by the way. So it's not easy.

That sounds terribly difficult for everyone MintEva. But although it's hard on you and it sounds like other people need to pull their weight, it also sounds like you've got a lot accomplished today. And that's a very good thing.
